Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to ensure correct speed grade and temperature rating. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling procedures prior to assembly. Check for any product change notices regarding packaging or marking updates. Ensure compatibility with current design tools and licensing requirements before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance of moderate logic density and low power consumption is required. Compare against other Stratix V variants based on specific I/O count needs and memory bandwidth requirements. Evaluate thermal management solutions suitable for the BGA package form factor. Validate that the available development software supports the targeted device family version.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GS series, which targets general-purpose applications requiring efficient performance per watt. It sits within the broader Altera FPGA portfolio, offering scalability alongside higher-end Stratix devices. The GS designation typically indicates optimized power characteristics compared to standard performance grades.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the pinout, logic capacity, and package dimensions. Consider newer Agilex families for improved performance, though migration requires significant design re-verification. Verify if legacy support contracts are available for continued maintenance of existing designs using this component.
